4 Safety Precautions
© Travis Industries 4101014 100-01208_002
Safety Warnings:
•Failure to follow all of the requirements may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death.
•This unit must be installed by a qualified installer to prevent the possibility of an explosion.
•This appliance must be installed in accordance with all local codes, if any; if not, in U.S.A. follow
ANSI Z223.1 and NFPA 54(88).
•A manufactured home (USA only) or mobile home OEM installation must conform with the
Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280, or, when such a
standard is not applicable, the Standard for Manufactured Home Installations, ANSI/NCSBCS
A225.1, or Standard for Gas Equipped Recreational Vehicles and Mobile Housing, CSA Z240.4. This
appliance may be installed in Manufactured Housing only after the home is site located.
•All exhaust gases must be vented outside the structure of the living-area. Combustion air is drawn
from outside the living-area structure. The venting must not be connected to a chimney flue serving a
separate solid-fuel burning appliance.
•Notify your insurance company before hooking up this fireplace.
•The room heater should be inspected before use and at least annually by a qualified service person.
More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, etc.
•The instructions in this manual must be strictly adhered to. Do not use makeshift methods or
compromise in the installation. Improper installation will void the warranty and safety listing.
•This heater is approved for use with natural gas (NG) or propane (LP). Burning the incorrect fuel will
void the warranty and safety listing and may cause an extreme safety hazard. Direct questions about
the type of fuel used to your dealer. Check the label and flame adjust knob on the gas control valve.
•Contact your local building officials to obtain a permit and information on any installation restrictions
or inspection requirements in your area.
•If the flame becomes sooty, dark orange in color, or extremely tall, do not operate the heater. Call
your dealer and arrange for proper servicing.
•It is imperative that control compartments, screens, or circulating air passageways of the heater be
kept clean and free of obstructions. These areas provide the air necessary for safe operation.
•Do not operate the heater if it is not operating properly in any fashion or if you are uncertain. Call
your dealer for a full explanation of your heater and what to expect.
•Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable liquids in the vicinity of this heater.
•Do not operate if any portion of the heater was submerged in water or if any corrosion occurs.
•Do not place clothing or other flammable items on or near the heater. Because this heater can be
controlled by a thermostat there is a possibility of the heater turning on and igniting any items placed
on or near it.
•Light the heater using the built-in igniter. Do not use matches or any other external device to light
your heater.
•Never remove, replace, modify or substitute any part of the heater unless instructions are given in this
manual. All other work must be done by a trained technician. Don't modify or replace orifices.
•The viewing glass should be opened only for conducting service.
•Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing must be replaced prior to operating the heater.

Safety Precautions 5
© Travis Industries 4101014 100-01208_002
Safety Warnings (continued):
•Allow the heater to cool before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning.
•Operate the heater according to the instructions included in this manual.
•If the main burners do not start correctly turn the gas off and call your dealer for service.
•This unit is not for use with solid fuel.
•Do not place anything inside the firebox (except the included fiber logs).
•If the fiber logs become damaged, replace with Travis Industries log set.
•Do not throw this manual away. This manual has important operating and maintenance instructions
that you will need at a later time. Always follow the instructions in this manual.
•Do not touch the hot surfaces of the heater. Educate all children of the danger of a high-temperature
heater. Young children should be supervised when they are in the same room as the heater.
•Due to the high temperature, the heater should be located out of traffic and away from furniture and
draperies.
•Instruct everyone in the house how to shut gas off to the appliance and at the gas main shutoff valve.
The gas main shutoff valve is usually next to the gas meter or propane tank and requires a wrench to
shut off.
•Travis Industries, Inc. grants no warranty, implied or stated, for the installation or
maintenance of your heater, and assumes no responsibility of any consequential damage(s).

Recommended Installation Procedure
HINT: We strongly recommend installing all of the optional equipment before placing the fireplace.
Place the fireplace on a suitable work stand to ease installation.
•Install the optional equipment (do not install the logs) – we recommend the following order:
a) LP Conversion (if applicable) – NOTE: leave the burner removed until after the liner is
installed (if applicable). If using the GreenSmart remote, install the modulating regulator
during LP conversion.
b) Liner (if applicable) – NOTE: You will need to loosen the accent light bracket while installing
the liner (see page 49).
c) Blower
NOTE: Do not install the rheostat if using the GreenSmart remote.
e) Remote
•Frame the opening for the fireplace. Make sure to allow for vent installation.
•This fireplace is designed to accommodate 1/2" drywall or 1/2” drywall with 3/8” tile (see "Nailing
Brackets" on page 17 for details). Secure the fireplace to the framing.
NOTE: If the facing is not 1/2" or 7/8" thick, follow the directions below:
Place a strip of facing material to both sides of the fireplace opening (NOTE: the strips will be
removed after the fireplace is secured). The facing thickness must represent the total thickness
of the finished facing (e.g.: If tile is to be used, include the thickness of the backboard, tile, and
tile adhesive). Insert the fireplace into the framing. Slide it back until the front edge of the
fireplace is flush with the facing material. Secure the fireplace using the plates located along the
base of the fireplace.
•Complete the gas line installation. Complete the electrical hook-up.
•Complete the vent installation.
•Install the hearth (if applicable).
•Install the drywall and facing (if applicable).
•Install the mantel (if applicable).
•Finalize the installation (see page 39) and install the grill or face.
